Terry Eugene Lefevers
Terry Eugene Lefevers, 68, of Gastonia, NC, passed away on January 03, 2026 at Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. He was born January 2, 1958 in Cleveland County, NC, son of the late Eugene and Betty Frances Phillips Lefevers. Terry was a devoted provider to his family. He worked for more than 25 years at Texlon Plastics in shipping and receiving before beginning a new career as a C&C operator with Plastic Products 5 years ago. Terry enjoyed watching football and was an avid Washington Commanders fan. He also loved attending NASCAR races. He was a very hard worker and enjoyed cutting and selling firewood to his many customers. He had a humorous side, always making others laugh with endless stories of his childhood and life. He was dedicated to everything he did, having achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, showing his determination in life. Terry never met a stranger and spent countless hours talking to people he met in everyday life. He was generous to a fault, always willing to help others in their time of need. Terry was a wonderful life partner, brother, uncle and friend who will be missed greatly by all those who knew him.
